Here is a screen shot and a couple of questions around the alarms, been reading the manual and searching J-Log.net and have started to get cross eyed For the most part I think I'm on the right path but just need some reassurance. I d/l'd the latest versions of JLC and LogView from J-Log website and grabbed the latest firmware as well. I'm using the JLC to configure my SD card and I think I have it set up correctly to export in LogView files creating new logs every time using Logmode 0. I'm gonna be running 4400mAh battteries so I set my Ubat Min at 44 and my CapMax at 13 (hoping this would be right for the alarm to work if I used more than 70% of my battery). The big question I have is what does PA stand for and what temp value should I use here? I take it has something to do with the temp of the ESC or possibly the battery

Last thing for now... I do need the Ubec Dip checked if I want to see if my Amp spikes are causing stress on my BEC correct?

My set up is Black Edition Pyro 700-52 HJIve 120 HV on a 13T. BTW is my gear ratio correct for a TDR, I pulled it out of the manual but in there it is listed as 12.36:1 so I guess it's the same as 1:12.36... I could just be over complicating this part

Alarm at 1300mAh? Hmm, that is 29.5% of the 4400, 31 (3100mAh) w'd be the right value, then 70% of the capacity is eaten and 30% (theoretically) still in.

44V as alarm threshold for 12S?! This is 3.67V per cell. No..., get 3.2V per cell or less.

Why alarms? You do not use a telemetry for alarming nor an alarm line running into a D.I.Y. alarm device in the model. So alarms will be logged only.

Ubec dip: If the BEC voltage dips by 0.5V below the initial voltage (measured shortly after startup) and that minimal voltage lasts for a certain time, the alarm will be triggered. So use this always together w/ other alarms configured.

The gear ratio looks OK, but I do not remember at the moment what the nominal ratio in a TDR is (multi-stage gear).

I will be running a 12 setup so I still need to change the threshold to 3.2 or less because it sees the individual cell V correct and not the overall V like I have it setup currently?

Also do you mind explaining to me what is Temp PA or better what PA refers to. I saw the alarm in the manual set to 90 C but not sure what I should run with my set up and don't want to input an arbitrary number with out being somewhat educated on what it means.

Yes, LogView knows of a huge number of devices, simply give it a try by "select device", then import your log file(s).

An arbitrary device can be defined by a .INI device setup file. So we may define devices that are not already included in LV, e.g. JLog2Fahrenheit. This is the .INI file for the standard JLog2 (but natively known by LV as "SM/JLog2"). Another way is to export imported logs out of LV into a .lov. Such a file contains a header which describes the device also (as a .INI does) - and includes all of your personal setup of LV for that device. That's the reason why by opening the .lov Example_Jlog2Fahrenheit.lov LV learns that device new to LV as it w'd do by a .INI device setup file in the appropriate directory also (but more "complicated").

Notice: OpenFormat log files (device files) have to be IMPORTED, not opened!
...wheras .lov files (exports) have to be opened by LV.

Tom,
Here is my file from today, they are in open format. I'm working through trying to figure out my graph and what everything means at the moment but thought I would share and see what you or anyone else thinks, I do believe I ran my battery too long

Tom,
I was talking with Magneto last night and I was explaining to him that I never heard any RPM changes through out my flight, he helped me reprogram my Jive b/c we think I did it wrong and the Jive never learned my throttle end points. I am going to try and give another go today with the new Mode 4 programmed and see if this results in a better log.

Tom/Magneto/Everybody,
Thought I would post some new files from a couple of TDR flights. I have been trying to find a sweet spot with flight time and rotor RPM using JLog and I think I am pretty close. Ideally I wanted to get as close to the recommended HS's that Jan references in the manual for Flight modes 1 and 2 but have found that if you want anything higher than 1700 RPM then you will defiantly have to go up a tooth on your pinion as the TDR vets have explained in numerous threads; I believe that they found that the Pyro is actually a higher kv than 520 and more like 560 which is why you can't achieve the 1850 at the TC in the manual... not sure but this is info that I have gathered. Also I am using the BE Pyro and Jive and the Pyro is wound with a 1.4mm wire as opposed to stock so this could be another factor.

But at any rate I thought I would share my files for anyone running a similar set up, I know Magneto will be so Joe I hope these help with your set up in May. Also got to say I have become a JLog Freak on top of a HeliFreak... data logging is contagious

Tom,
No question really just wanted to share my file for others to look at that might be running a similar set up. So you're leaving JLog and Logview company??? What will that mean for us? Or are you leaving your main company and still going to support JLog and Logview?
